Make top-level navigation smaller in size

Former Member

Hi all,

the default top-level navigation in the AJAX framework uses quite a big piece of the browser window (almost 70 px). This space could be used better especially when integrating reports.

So my question is how to reduce the height of the top level navigation (first level only) from around 70px to maybe 40-50? Can this be done in the portal theme editor? Unfortunately there is no preview available yet when editing AJAX specific settings. Or do we need to change the coding of the framwork page?

I think it would be pretty messy to change all the pictures and fonts that are used in the top-level navigation.

Thanks for any suggestions or even the "it's not possible" answer.

Regards,

Fabian

Hi Fabian.

The question of editing AFP is already discussed here. Please read previous posts of this topic, e.g. - .

In short words - wait for Ehp2.

Thanks Aliaksandr!

But shouldn't it already be possible to change this? Will the mechanism to change the theme be enhanced in EhP2 an do we know when EhP2 will be available?

Hi Fabian.

At least you can built your own theme on a base of default one and then directly modify css and image files. However, I do not recommend this solution as far as AFP still in active development.

Will the mechanism to change the theme be enhanced in EhP2 an do we know when EhP2 will be available?

Yes, full support for customization is planned in Ehp2. According to an addendum to SAP's Release Strategy for Large Enterprises, status July 2009, which you can find at [Service Marketplace|http://service.sap.com/releasestrategy], EHP2 for NetWeaver 7.0 is rescheduled to June 2010.

P.S.: Why not just use the "Full Screen" button? It hides TLN.

Thanks Aliaksandr for this information. The full screen button is of course an option, but not the most user friendly one. So we'll wait for EhP2 then.

Hi Fabian

As mention by Aliaksandr customization of the Ajax Framework Page is supported in Ehp2.

Though it is not recommended, I've seen couple of customers that were able to narrow the Top Level Navigation size using

changes in the theme images as mention by Aliaksandr
